IMPROVED BELT-HOOK.

,To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN;

Know allmen that I, FREDERICK J. JONES, of Detroit, in the county of Wayne; and State oi Miehigan, have invented a new and useful-Improvement in Belt-Hooks; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings and to'the letters of reference marked thereon, and being apart of this spe'cification.

The nature of this invention is so to construct hooks for the purpose of fastening the ends of belts that the belts will not be'cut or worn by the hookspand that'will allow the belt to be takeniup much more easily and. rapidly than can possibly be done by lacing, .or by any of the other ordinary methods of fastening belts.

In order to accomplishthisobject, Iconstruct two double hooks, A, the bends of which are connected by the loose sleeve B. I I v t I To use my invention, it is simply required to pu'n'ch'square or triangular holes through near the ends of the \belt, to correspond with the hooks in their distance apart, when the books can be easily and rapidly applied.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure byLetters Patent :-is

The constructionbf a. double hook and sleeve, substi n tially asan d'for the purposes herein set forth and described.
